Gems On The Beach

Everyone knows about how beautiful Iceland is. If there is a god then this is the place on earth where all the art school graduates display their work. Almost anyplace you int your camera you will find incredible photo opportunities. I have traveling to Iceland since 2005 and I have still so much to see and discover.

One place that yields new winning images every time I visit is the iceberg beach. This is a beach not too far from a giant glacier. The icebergs calving off the glacier float out to sea and then low tide washes them on the beach. This usually produces under the right conditions hundreds of small icebergs. It’s heaven for photographers. These two images I produced in a couple of hours there. The background also lends to great images and as you can see in these, what I call the Arctic Yellow shines though along with such beautiful clouds.

Vegas Lights

Las Vegas, the city of lights. I love and hate Vegas. I love it for the photography aspect but just hate the whole fakeness of t. It is an overdose of the senses. In any case, I love the lights and photography. A number of years ago I visited The Neon Museum and they collect old Las Vegas signs. They are marvels of engineering and these signs consisted of hundreds of lights or yards and yards fo neon tubes. It’s so cool that you can visit a place to see these. Naturally, I shot hundreds of images. I looked for the abstract, shadows and light as well as color. These are four of the images from that visit.

Fishing In Mexico

About 4 years ago my friend Micahel Reichmann and I decided to travel and do a deep Mexico photo adventure. I mean really deep and we went places that many Americans probably have not gone. It was scary every now and then. Most people were very friendly and it gave us a chance to see how special Mexico is in its beautiful landscape possibilities. These two images were made near an area with a flooded lake and the fishermen were out in drives. There was a real peace and serenity at this location. We were fortunate enough to be high up on a hill shooting down so it gave. unique perspective.

Polar Bears Jumping

I presume you may know that I also run workshops to amazing locations all around the world. You can find these workshops at Rockhopper Workshops. One of the places we visit is the Arctic and what an amazing place it is. These two polar bears were photographed on one of my Svalbard workshops a few years ago. On these workshops, we sometimes drive our small ship deep into the arctic ice and search for polar bears. We get real close and shut the engines down and drift and if we are lucky polar bears come to us. This polar bear was photographed from about fifty feet off of the ship. The bear was jumping from ice flow to ice flow and sometimes even swimming. These are magnificent animal.s

I still have room on my August 2020 workshop and info can be found at Rockhopper Workshops. Maybe you’d consider joining us.

Celery Farmers

every farmers — Celery Farmers in Canada

This is an image I saw while driving north in Canada to Algonquin State Park. It was very foggy and we were driving through a farm area. Through the fog, we saw these groups of farmers cutting celery and harvesting it. What caught me was a subservient look of the bent-over farmers and the guy walking around with a big machete. The whole image asks a lot of questions that the viewer needs to solve for themselves.

Gum Trees

There are many things to love about Australia. I have a lot of fo friends there and have traveled there a number of times. The landscapes can be really beautiful. Throughout the centra; part of Australia there are these beautiful gum trees. These are gorgeous shaped trees with white bark. As in this picture, the white bark really contrasts with the bluff walls in Orbiston Gorge.

Nature Reclaims Her World

Life Out Of Rust — Life out of an old rusted train car

Nature has patience. And, with all my travels I have seen many times how nature reclaims what is here. Whether it be a Forrest devastated by. fire, an abandoned house or rusty and rotting machines. Mother nature always wins. She has immense patience. In this image, I was walking through a train yeard looking for abstract photo opportunities. I stopped at this one train car and found this. A small but of a plant of some kind growing in the rusty dust form the boxcar door of this train. Nature always finds a way.

Statue Of Liberty In Vegas

Street photography is something I really enjoy. I am not just a landscape photographer, but a photographer of all things I see. Las Vegas is a city that bothers me. I can’t take more than 3 days there and if I am in Vegas it is for business. One of my biggest side benefits is to walk the streets and I mean miles of walking at a slow pace capturing the life around me. I look for people, light and shadow and some of the outrageous things. The Statue Of Liberty at the New Yor Hotel is just one of those. On my walk, the light was really nice and I had to shoot it. I like the angle and light and the way I processed this. I had tried several different looks and settles on this one.

Scotty’s Castle

This image was made at Scotty’s Castle in Death Valley National Park a few years ago. Scottys Castle is a kind of strange place as a lot of things are out in the desert. Essentially it is a giant mansion built in the early 20th century out in the middle of nowhere. You can read about Scottys HERE. Please note that a little over a year ago Scottys was almost wiped out by a torrential flood and still remains closed and will not reopen until mid-2020.

This image was made lying on the floor of one of the circular cases. I shot directly upwards and then did some post-processing to add the gritty effect.

Orbison Gorge – Australia

I have been to Australia a number of times. It’s very far away and is a very long plane ride. However, once you are there you will be treated to a beautiful country. The people are incredibly friendly and the scenery is very versatile. This location is near the center of the country. This is a gorge which there a number of and they are usually in a canyon with water running through them. I have a few images from this canyon. One of these is a three-shot pano and the other is a single shot.
